It occurred to me when considering the payment terms of the 2008 cars and soon to be produced 2010 cars, that ...
Tesla should be at maximum cash flow right about now. Why? Because...
The 2008 models have the balance due at delivery. The 2010 models have the balance due before start of production. During the next 2 months they have an overlap of those payment terms. They're getting final due payments from the 2008's being currently delivered at the same time they're getting final due payments of the 2010's soon to be starting production.
